His rationale is their travel arrangements are atrocious because he shared a commercial flight with the Sphinx one time and he felt bad for them. He said professional sports owes it to women to try to strive for equal rights, opportunity AND pay. He feels NFL and NBA should do away with cheerleaders because it objectifies them. He says front office WNBA people should not be making more than players. And he didn't care what the WNBA brings I'm vs NBA...his little sidekick chimed in and said NBA is treating WNBA like a minor league baseball team.

I tried to post as many of his opinions as I could because this shite will be the next thing to gain traction, not only for WNBA salaries vs NBA salaries but NFL pay and guaranteed contracts vs NBA and MLB. It all goes in the same hat.

Where’s the money going to come from? The gates? The concessions?

I hope the NBA dips into their pots and pays them more, a lot more.


Maybe sports betting is the best chance for the WNBA to survive.

It is a losing money association that is completely subsidized by the NBA.

They will never get paid like nfl, nba, mlb because nobody watches WNBA and they only play for a few months.

He doesn’t understand or comprehend basic financial logic. Go ahead and pay them more and let’s watch the league fold when the NBA can no longer justify the cost

Lower the rim to nine feet.
Make the players wear bikini's and body oil
Allow fighting

Then maybe I would watch more than zero games a year

These morons must want the league to fold. They'll end up demanding the government help the league out
